"Article 20" is a film that reflects the conflict between law and morality, and through the choices faced by the protagonist, it explores the moral choice of individuals in the face of social pressure. Characters in films are often caught between a dilemma in which they may need to compromise with reality in order to survive or gain profit, and on the other hand, they may choose to stick to their principles and take responsibility.
In the field of philosophy, this conflict usually involves theories such as virtue ethics, deontology, and consequentialism in ethics. Virtue ethics emphasizes the character and virtue of the individual, and advocates that people should act according to good qualities; Deontology, on the other hand, focuses on compliance with moral rules and obligations, even if this may have adverse consequences; Consequentialism, on the other hand, focuses on the outcome of actions and maximizes happiness or benefits.
The choices made by the characters in the film, whether they give in to reality or stick to their principles in the face of difficulties, are a reflection of these philosophical views. Viewers may judge a character's actions based on their own values and experiences, leading to deep reflections on issues such as personal responsibility, social justice, and personal sacrifice.
